King of Baroda, Maharaja Sayaji Rao III Gaekwar

King of Baroda, Maharaja Sayaji Rao III Gaekwar (1863-1911)- Raja-yogas Part-8

(Dec--7---2009) I give hereunder a detailed anlysis of the horoscope of the King of Baroda, Maharaja Sayaji Rao III Gaekwar (1863-1911), in 9 parts. He was by birth an ordinary peasant boy. He was adopted by the Queen of Baroda as her son. I explain the important events in his life.

1) It was the strange game of Fate; the Queen (mother) selected this ordinary peasant boy and crowned him as the King during 1875, when he was barely 12 years of age. This occurred during the end of Mercury dasa (sub-period of Saturn). Mercury was the lord of 10^th house (Rajya); he was in 3^rd house and was conjunct with Sun the lord of 9^th house (Bhagya; luck). This was highly beneficial. In the Nava amsa, Mercury was the lord of 10^th house and was in 2^nd house from lagna (Dhana-sthana) and in 11^th house (laabham) from Rasi-lagna (Moon).

2) The boy was adopted as her son by the Queen-mother as soon as the Saturn sub-period started in the main period of Mercury. Saturn ruled over the Parama-mithra star for the boy. Saturn was the lord of 2^nd house (Dhana-sthana) in Bhava; he was conjunct with highly benefic Jupiter and was aspected (7^th drushti) by exalted Venus.

3) His marriage was performed during the main period of Ketu and sub-period of Venus. Venus was vivaha-kalathra-kaarka (significator of marriage and wife); he was exalted in Pisces (4^th house; Sri Naryana sthana) and was very beneficial. Ketu was placed in Taurus and so he gave the beneficial results of Venus (the lord of Taurus) and caused marriage. 4) Sayaji Rao Gaekwar was invested with full power and his coronation was performed during the sub-period of Jupiter in the main period of Ketu. Jupiter was in 10^th house (Rajya sthana) in Bhava chart and Ketu was conjunct with Mars and Jupiter aspected (9^th drushti) both Mars and Ketu. In Nava amsa chart also Jupiter was in Kendra (4^th house, Sri Naryana sthana). Jupiter was in his own house, Sagittatius and was conjunct with Moon forming strong Gaja-Kesari Raja-yoga. Also Ketu was in laabha-sthana (11^th house) and was apected (7^th drushti) by benefic Venus. These powerful and beneficial aspects resulted in his coronation during sub-period of Jupiter during the main period of Ketu. The period of 1881-85 resulted in his consolidation of power; he expanded his kingdom and implemented beneficial reforms in the administration.
